One more thing I thought of. This system has a wired Ethernet port, a USB port and even a PCMCIA dial-up modem. I can't imagine being able to get the Debian installation kernel to talk to any of those devices like it would a serial port, but if so, that would let me do a Debian install and solve this problem. Again, thanks. Martin McCormick _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
